How to present yourself


Meeting somebody for the first time is always a tricky business, learn the first 2 phrases by heart, they soon will become useful.

Je me présente
Let me introduce myself
Je m'appelle
I am as in my name is

You might have to describe yourself or try to understand what somebody looks like therefore the following vocabulary will become very handy.

Je suis
I am as in I am
Il est/ elle est
He is/ She is
J'ai
I have
Il a / Elle a
He has/ She has

When talking about people, some words might sometimes be unflattering, for example if a person is big avoid using gros/grosse but instead say fort/ forte. Same for a person who is very thin rather than maigre which might be perceived as derogatory and implies bony use mince.
